    @BlizzardCS every time I try and connect to overwatch 2 I get an LC-208 error. I have followed all steps to fix it. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, reset router, etc. Unfortunately I’m still getting the error.

  • Adrien_R_G Adrien.R.Mosby (@Adrien_R_G) reported

    @WeasleyDixon @PlayOverwatch Not only I also miss this skin (which was my fave from my main), but I can't even see it in the skin menu. Even when you filter everything in, it just isn't in the game anymore... @OverwatchFR ? Is it a known issue ?

  • RemiixMvP Remiix (@RemiixMvP) reported

    Does anyone know why Whenever I try launching overwatch it says that it’s connecting to the server, then it shows the log in box. If I provide my credentials it goes through connecting again but just shows the log in box again without any errors or anything.

  • Onekumar OneKumar (@Onekumar) reported

    @PlayOverwatch New day and a new error. Still can’t play Overwatch 2. I give up, Blizzard isn’t figuring this out.

  • HyphenGamin HyphenGamin (@HyphenGamin) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey overwatch fix your game my career stats are not showing up now like it says I have only played 16 hours even though it said that 3 days ago and I’ve played a lot of games since then

    Overwatch still have server issues?

  • haden_lennex Haden Lennex (@haden_lennex) reported

    @Qwik hey man i play overwatch and i bought the watch point pack and it seems everyone was having a issue with getting their stuff from it so i decided to just buy the battle pass while i waited for it to merge i later found out watchpoint pack gives you the battle pass for free!

  • sindulf0 Sindulfo V (@sindulf0) reported

    @JustinWhang i was super late to overwatch 1 and the issue was that the only people left were veterans. even in a “4/20 and chill” custom lobby everyone was a casual expert while wasted and getting mad at me for doing bad. so OW2 is your chance to play with other noobs for once. do it.

  • DeeP_R_ViBeS VIBES 🔥🔥🌻🔥🔥 (@DeeP_R_ViBeS) reported

    @jonny55555 @PlayOverwatch Same on Xbox, I've been getting the disconnected from game server error message all day and have not been able to connect to OverWatch 2. Error (LC-208)

  • Robosnocone RoboSnoCone (@Robosnocone) reported

    @ThanosThaTITAN For sure!! I can’t into overwatch I’m getting the disconnected from game server error still. I got in once since launch day. Nothing since.

  • H0NEY_LU5T Chloe 🔞 (@H0NEY_LU5T) reported

    genuinely so sad that i can’t really play overwatch anymore since they updated it :( idk wtf they did but it takes me like 2 minutes to load into a match, an extra minute for the models to load in, and insane lag makes it unplayable. literally running the game at 3 fps.

  • Lucia_Foxxo Evalynn Lindqvist (@Lucia_Foxxo) reported

    @BlizzardCS i am currently having an issue logging into overwatch 2 on my Xbox Series S. I get an error lc-208 that is affecting only my account on my network. Pleae help me fix it, ive been enjoying the game a lot and being barred away from it is a drag.

  • Bryaxtt Bry (@Bryaxtt) reported

  • cassiusanguian2 cassius anguiano (@cassiusanguian2) reported

  • Pop_Sweeties 🎃Grizzcotavo🎃🏳️‍⚧️ (@Pop_Sweeties) reported

    is overwatch lagging to the point of disconnect after the downtime for everyone else too? i reset my console and router and it still lags like crazy

  • DwarfAlchemist sean (@DwarfAlchemist) reported

    Overwatch 2 disconnect before getting results in almost every comp placement is great.

  • HddufyHddufy3 hddufy (@HddufyHddufy3) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @Pots_for_life needs you to fix the login errors hes needs to run some overwatch with me now

  • HorobinAri ari Horobin (@HorobinAri) reported

    @PlayOverwatch how can i get my Xbox One version of overwatch to work, last nights maintenance has caused my version to not let me log in with an error code, it was working fine before. what happened?

  • Topicup1 Topicup (@Topicup1) reported

    i hate overwatch right now i finally got my account back so i could login on pc and now i cant even play overwatch 2 @PlayOverwatch pls fix this

  • conflikz CONFLIKZTTV (@conflikz) reported

    just curious if this is ok, overwatch launches a hotfix last night afterwards back to getting the same error code, then i submit a ticket with customer service, and their idea of handling my inquiry is to delete my ticket with no response? what kind of operation are you running

  • udnthot udnthot (@udnthot) reported

    @CapForbidme @BlizzardCSEU_EN it was perfectly fine before maintenance last night, overwatch isnt giving us any updates, this launch is the shittiest launch in gaming, bug after bug, every day i go on twitter to see a new thing not working. honestly how hard can it be to just fix ur game
